[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2013 Nottingham archiving

[Jo Cook]

I disagree completely about the basecamp archive. The whole purpose of what
I'm doing at the moment is to archive it in a useful format, with
discussion threads linking to files rather than a bunch of wiki pages. I
appreciate that preserving things on the wiki is a good idea, and that's
what we have been doing, but it might be worth holding off from dismissing
the basecamp archive as useless until the archiving has been done. You will
of course get the logos and other files separately (see Barry's original
post, which no one has answered yet).

I also don't think that the lessons learnt page for 2013 is the right place
to add personal opinions from the board about the archive- if you want to
forbid the use of any communication tool for OSGeo conferences, apart from
the mailing lists and wiki, then this should be specified in the RFP.
